You say you just don't see itHe says it's perfect senseYou just can't get agreementIn this present tenseWe all talk a different languageTalking in defense

Say it loud, say it clearYou can listen as well as you hearIt's too late when we dieTo admit we don't see eye to eye

So we open up a quarrelBetween the present and the pastWe only sacrifice the futureIt's the bitterness that lasts

So don't yield to the fortunesYou sometimes see as fateIt may have a new perspectiveOn a different dayAnd if you don't give up,And don't give inYou may just be OK

Say it loud, say it clearYou can listen as well as you hearIt's too late when we dieTo admit we don't see eye to eye

I wasn't there that morningWhen my father passed awayI didn't get to tell himAll the things I had to say.I think I caught his spiritLater that same yearI'm sure I heard his echoIn my baby's new born tearsI just wish I could have told himIn the living years

Say it loud, say it clearYou can listen as well as you hearIt's too late when we dieTo admit we don't see eye to eye
